Lemon Courgette Cake

It’s going to be the Constitution Day here in Norway in two days time and it’s a very important day for Norwegians. For that day, I like to bake a cake for my Norwegian family, to show respect the best way I can. 🙂

This delicious cake is very light in texture and slightly moist. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup grated courgette

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup rapeseed oil

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp lemon zest

Start with zesting two lemons. This is what gave me the 2 teaspoons lemon zest. I use a regular grater with small holes and make sure I don’t press too hard so I only remove the yellow part and not the white pith underneath.

Next, preheat your oven to 180C/350F.

Prepare a small baking tin.

In a bowl whisk together egg, courgette, sugar and oil. Stir the rest of the ingredients in until just blended.
